Default elements for Inspection Policy elements

Default Inspection Policy elements are introduced when you import and activate a dynamic update package. The rules in the Inspection Policy Templates can change when you activate new update packages.

To customize inspection, you must have a custom Inspection Policy element. The predefined templates are a good starting point for your own customization.

Note: Keeping your system up to date with latest dynamic updates is an essential part of maintaining your Inspection Policy elements.
